    Is it possible to se the carb calculation? When i do the recepie I get 15net carbs per portion. I really liked the dish but with 15g per portion it is not possible for me to have it.

    All of our nutritional information is based on the USDA National Nutrient Database. 10g is the number of net carbs per serving. The total carbs would be 14g per serving.

    Very delicious recipe. We used red snapper, as that was what we had. Added another tsp of the mustard. Very satisfying meal. Will do again, but with the Cod.
